Hibiya Park Marunouchi Ondo Bon Odori Festival (日比谷公園丸の内音頭大盆踊り大会)
Time
: Late August
Prefecture: Tokyo
Location: Hibiya Park

The Marunouchi Ondo Bon Odori Festival takes place at the central Hibiya Park and is one of Tokyo's most accessible and largest Bon Odori festivals.

During the event, a diverse array of participants, including employees from businesses in the Marunouchi area, local residents, and tourists (with an expected 40,000 participants), join in dancing circles around the central fountain to the rhythm of the "Marunouchi Ondo." This iconic dance, composed in 1932 by Yaso Saijo and Shinpei Nakayama, forms the basis of the renowned Bon Odori song, "Tokyo Ondo." The festival not only offers a lively and inclusive celebration but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Tokyo.
